This might be asking a lot but I am pre-op and I am so worried what my stomach will look like after the surgery and weight loss!! I am 5'6 and 244 lbs. I am 28 years old so maybe my body can tighten up over time. I am just so worried what I will look like naked after I loose 100+ lbs. I really don't want plastic surgery or to have to always wear shape wear. If you are willing I would love to see before and after pictures of bare stomach!! Please and thank you!

To start it off I will show my current stomach (so not hot!). Can't wait to share my after pictures!

It is Aveeno Positively Ageless Firming Lotion.

I gotta start this, too. Are you taking Biotin yet? I started daily Biotin about a month ago (3 months before surgery).

no... what is Biotin for?

Thank you! I got some firming lotion but I will have to get some Cocoa Butter now!

I just brought some cocoa butter firming lotion

no... what is Biotin for?

Biotin is for you hair and they have it with hair nails and skin I take that one

Your too cute and funny!! This made me giggle

Haha,this made me laugh![emoji12]

Thank you for sharing! How much did you loose?

Haha idk if I should even post mine. Don't wanna scare you

Hello ladies! OK so I had 6 babies, I am 48...I always carried my weight in the MIDDLE!!UGH!! No huge boobies no butt, my bottom has never been my problem. Just my extra set of hobbies in back..and bigger belly. I had my surgery on 12/29.

Weigh in at 249

5'3 1/2

Today I weigh 231.

I feel like a melted candle..my belly starting to look as if it's drooping in top of my girl. (Hehe) will i get my skin removed? I am still debating. I don't heal well. I am scared of a staph infection. My incisions are still healing and they are NOT pretty. So even if you cut out the skin...we still have 5 or 6 scars in our bellies.

actually you wont. with skin removal they'll remove all the skin from probably just above your belly button down, so you'll only have the one or two above and they'll end up below your new belly button.
